The optimum capital structure us the combination of equity and debt that leads to
the maximization of the value of firm. Thus, the capital structure decision is very
important to the firm, the optimum capital structure minimizes the firm’s overall
cost of capital and maximizes the value of the firm. The purpose of this report was
to calculate the value of the three following firms- Bosch, Motilal Oswal and DLF.
The method used to calculate the value of the firm are The Net Income Approach
and Net Operating Income Approach.
The Net Income Approach suggests that value of the firm can be increased by
decreasing the overall cost of capital through higher debt proportion. The Net
Operating Income Approach to capital structure believes that the value of a firm is
not affected by the change of debt component in the capital structure.

INCOME STATEMENT
NOI = Earning before interest and taxes / The weighted average cost
of capital
= 28,702,400,000 / 10.25 × 100
= 280023414634.14 = 28,002.34 crores
Working notes:
NET INCOME:
EBIT = 2870.24 crores
(-) Interest = 590.31
crores EBT =
2,279.93 crore
Valuation of companies:
Net income Approach-
EBIT = 323.34
(-) interest= (129.24)
EBT = 194.10
Cost of Debt= 11.11%
Cost of equity = Risk free Rate of return + Beta of Asset * (Expected Return
of the market - Risk free rate of return)
Analysis: based on the above calculation, it was observed that the cost of debt is
higher than the cost of equity. Therefore, it advised to the business owner to
decrease the debt on the company and increase the equity to get better results.
Capital structure of Motilal Oswal
NET INCOME:
NOI = (Earnings before interest and taxes / The weighted average cost
of capital) X 100
= (1646.60 / 18.2 %) X 100
=9,047.25 Cr
WORKING NOTES:
Weights:
a) weight of equity = E / (E + D) = 0.000 / (0.000 + 4.9565247718925) = 0
b) weight of debt = D / (E + D) = 4.9565247718925 / (0.000 + 4.9565247718925)
=1
Cost of Equity:
= 5.89000000% + 1 * 6% = 11.89%
Cost of Debt:
= 1.3682422915644 / 4.9565247718925 = 27.6049%.
Multiply by one minus Average Tax Rate:
The latest Two-year Average Tax Rate is 34.07%.
WACC= E / (E + D)*Cost of Equity +D / (E + D)*Cost of Debt*(1 - Tax Rate)
=0*11.89% +1*27.6049%*(1 - 34.07%)
=18.2%
Conclusion
The capital structure is the backbone and foundation for its financial development.
Since the capital structure directly effects valuation of the company, wealth of the
shareholder, the managers need to understand the implications of financial leverage
on the business. Therefore, the corporate management must use a thorough and
prudent procedure for establishing the target capital structure.
Typically, the cost of equity exceeds the cost of debt. The risk to shareholders is
greater than to lenders since payment on a debt is required by law regardless of a
company's profit margins.
For a company with a lot of debt, adding new debt will increase its risk of default,
the inability to meet its financial obligations. A higher default risk will increase the
cost of debt, as new lenders will ask for a premium to be paid for the higher default
risk.
